I think the BUSK could have been level 6 AP on the front (in conjunction with BMP-2 base), given how thick those panels were. But again, beating archaic rounds like 3UBR6 shouldn't be that difficult.
Aktchually 🤓☝️ the "obsolete" No. 2 helmet resists 7.62x39 mm rifle AP bullets with hard steel core penetrator at ≥10 mm in a 60° frontal arc, has optional top frag/9 mm protection (under 1.5 kg) & was tested against biomechanical headform props to warrant viable user safety.
This shit is so barebones...

It should be different from DMRL's effort of making 25/30 mm FSAPDS proof panels for the Zorawar since they fall under the DG(NS&M) cluster.
R&DE(E), DRDO, Pune has successfully developed and tested indigenous lightweight STANAG-6 (30mm AP) armour panels for next-generation MBTs, Light Tanks and FICVs.
DRDO has now issued an EoI for Transfer of Technology (ToT) to Indian vendors for manufacturing this technology, paving the way for wider industrial adoption, indigenous production.
